Daily is definitely good, but the timing can easily vary. My computers 
are in sleep mode when I'm not using them. Similarly, external disks are 
unmounted and turned off except for maybe half an hour per day. After 
the first backup, which takes an hour or two, the incremental backups 
typically take 10--15 minutes. My office computer is thus scheduled to 
run the backup when I am typically off at lunch, and my home computer 
for 8:30 in the evening when it will usually be running because I am 
using it.
